Best Wild Game Chili

Chili seems to be a signature dish most often cooked up during the changing of the seasons. When the days get shorter, temperatures begin to drop and the leaves begin to change colors. So it only seems appropriate to share this chili recipe.

I’m calling this the Best Wild Game Chili because we are lucky enough to have three wild game meats in the fridge. I’m using ground pronghorn antelope, ground venison and ground elk slow cooked with a blend of savory and spicy ingredients. Of course, if you don’t have all of these game meats in your fridge, you can always substitute. If you prefer your chili with beans, go ahead and add a can of chili beans or kidney beans or even black beans.

Also, Thanks goes out to Weston Supply for letting us try their NEW Realtree Outfitters® 5 Qt. Camo Slow Cooker. The slow cooker kept the chili simmering to perfection… and besides that, it is the coolest Camo slow cooker I’ve ever seen!

I made this chili with elk, antelope, venison, and a pound of super lean beef to make it a little more meaty. I also used a blackberry wine in mine instead of the traditional red to give it a little sweet with the spice. It has won first place in two different chili cook-offs I have taken it to.

April – of course. I would substitute another 28-oz can of crushed tomatoes for the red wine. Hope you give it a try… Let me know how it turns out and if you did anything different. I’m always looking for new ways to cook up wildgame! Have a great Labor Day Weekend!

Thanks! 🙂 So many of your recipes on your webpage look amazing. Just discoved them not long ago. I tried your elk tacos with the roasted corn and red bell pepper salsa and wow, it’s been a hit with so many people! 🙂

I never grew up in a family of hunters or outdoorsmen. I never knew what it was like to go fishing, camping, shoot a gun or even think of harvesting an animal for food. Then at an early age I met a hunter who introduced me to an entirely new world I never knew existed. What can I say… I was hooked. I learned how to cast a fly rod, how to clean a fish, how to spot-n-stalk, how to pull the trigger and then I quickly learned about respect.READ MORE
